No meaningless word lists, no flashcards ripped out of context. You meet new words inside stories shaped around your interests and inside real books, lock them in with practice, and a smart spaced-repetition algorithm brings each one back exactly when you start to forget it.

ENGLISH
The station drifted in silence above the frozen moon. Mira checked the oxygen gauge twice — the needle was trembling, and the spare tank had vanished from its locker.
РУССКИЙ
Станция беззвучно дрейфовала над замёрзшей луной. Мира дважды проверила кислородный датчик: стрелка дрожала, а запасной баллон исчез из шкафчика.
A story generated for the “space” interest at level B1 — words from your list woven in and highlighted.
The method
Every word follows the same loop — reading is where it begins.
New words and grammar show up inside books and stories you actually want to read — not in isolated decks. Generated stories are shaped around your interests and seeded with the words you're learning, the native translation right alongside.
Each word travels a short, varied chain of exercises — from first recognition to typing it, saying it out loud, and building it into a sentence. The point isn't to spot a word in a list; it's to use it freely.
From there, modern spaced repetition (FSRS, the same engine built into Anki) brings each word back the day you're about to forget it — not sooner, not later. That's the orbit: every word on its own.
LangOrbit notices not only what you studied but what you've met while reading — words and grammar alike — and turns it into an honest read on how close you are to the next level, and what to pick up next.
Features
Six tools, one method — from first meeting a word to owning it. See the full tour →
Every story is generated around what you actually enjoy — space, detectives, travel — at your level, seeded with the words you're learning right now. The translation runs alongside and the grammar is unpacked, just like in the Reader. A new word first meets you inside a plot you chose, not in a list.

Mira checked the oxygen gauge twice — the spare tank had vanished from its locker…
You pick the topic — the words from your practice weave themselves into the plot.
Each word travels a chain of short exercises: assemble it from letters, pick the translation, type it from memory, hear it and say it aloud, slot it into a phrase. Add any word you like — living phrases and common collocations are generated for it, and you can spin a whole story out of the words you pick.

Collocations
Six stages — from recognition to use; phrases and collocations are generated for every word.
From there FSRS takes over — the modern spaced-repetition algorithm, the same one inside Anki. For every single word it estimates when you'll start to forget it and brings it back for review at exactly that moment. The intervals grow: a day, four, ten, a month — until the word is yours.
FSRS plots each word's orbit: the intervals grow until the word is yours.
Grammar here isn't an appendix to vocabulary. A CEFR-levelled reference explains every topic in plain words, practice locks it in — on the same FSRS schedule — and an interactive map lays the whole path out from A1 to C2: what's mastered, what's in progress, what opens next. In stories and books the constructions you've studied light up right in the text.
Past · habits and states that are no longer true
used to + verbFor things that were true or happened regularly in the past — and don't anymore.

The reference explains, practice locks it in — and comes back on the FSRS schedule too.
The entire Reader — parallel translation, tap-to-translate, read-aloud audio, your own books, offline — lives inside the app. Plus what the standalone version can't do: a word from a book joins your practice in one tap, and the words and constructions you're learning stay highlighted in everything you read.
ENGLISH
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
One tap and a word from the book is in your practice; what you're learning stays highlighted in every text.
The app counts more than your exercises: words and constructions you meet while reading are credited to your picture automatically. You see how close you are to the next level, how your goal across the 5,000 most useful English words is moving — and what to pick up next: a word that fits your interests or a grammar topic at your level.
Your progress
Credited from reading
Words and grammar from your reading are credited automatically — an honest picture of your level, not a streak.
How we differ
We built the tool we couldn't find ourselves: for adults, no games, no hand-built flashcards.
No streaks, leagues, or guilt over a missed day. The only number we grow is your actual level: the better you get, the less often the app calls you back.
All the power of spaced repetition with none of the deck-building: context, phrases, audio and the schedule are generated for every word automatically.
Reading is the way into the method, not the whole method. Behind every saved word stand practice, memory-timed reviews, and an honest picture of your level.
Two products
One method underneath. Pick how deep you want to go — both are live, and both are free to try.
The full method
A daily lesson built from your words, stories shaped to your interests, six-stage practice with speaking and listening, FSRS reviews, a grammar map from A1 to C2, and honest progress — with the entire Reader built in. For learning English, not just reading it.
Just reading — with support
For those who don't need the whole learning loop: read real English books with parallel translation, a tap-to-translate dictionary, grammar explained in the line, and audio that reads the chapter aloud. Your own EPUB and FB2, offline. A complete product on its own — simpler and cheaper than the app.
Both are free to try — the full experience within daily limits, no card. Words saved in the Reader carry over if you move up to the app.
FAQ
The app is the full method: a daily lesson built from your words, generated stories, six-stage practice, FSRS reviews, a grammar map and honest progress — with the whole Reader built in. The Reader is a separate, simpler product for people who just want to read: real books with a tap-to-translate dictionary, grammar explained in the line, read-aloud audio, your own EPUB/FB2 and offline mode. Words you save in the Reader carry over if you move up to the app.
Both products are free to try — and it's the real thing, not a demo: full functionality within daily limits, no card required. Full access is paid; plans are shown inside each product.
Any level from beginner up: materials are CEFR-graded from A1 to C1, stories are generated exactly at your level, and word and grammar suggestions adjust automatically.
Pick a book matched to your level, read with the translation beside the text, and save the words you want to keep. LangOrbit turns those words into short practice sessions and brings them back on a spaced-repetition schedule — so reading time becomes vocabulary that stays.
FSRS is the modern spaced-repetition algorithm — the same one used in Anki. It models your memory for each word individually and schedules the review for the day you'd start to forget it. Minimal reviews, maximal retention.
